Hood storage

Hope this stays put, what's the weight of the hood about 100lbs?

It should be fine as a temporary situation. Your garage door weighs a whole lot more. As a long term, you’d be better to hang vertically on the wall using the hinge mounts as pick up points. (Less stress on your ceiling supports).
